Short Landed

“Short Landed” refers to a situation where the cargo volume count at the delivery destination is less than the originally shipped quantity. It indicates that the received amount of goods falls short of what was initially expected or documented. This discrepancy may arise due to various factors such as pilferage, damage, miscounting, or errors during the loading, transit, or unloading processes. Short landing can have significant implications for both the shipper and the recipient, potentially leading to inventory discrepancies, financial losses, and operational disruptions. It requires prompt investigation and resolution to determine the cause of the shortfall and to address any necessary claims, adjustments, or corrective actions to rectify the situation and ensure accurate cargo accounting.
